Document Summary

He believed that it was a phase connected to other changes social economic and political in particular. Postmodernism and late capitalism: at some point following world war ii a new kind of society began to emerge (variously described as postindustrial society, multinational capitalism, consumer society, media society, and so forth). Abstract art is fully about aesthetic experience with no connection to the surrounding world or avant garde and kitsch. High art inspired by pop culture and comics. We have seen that there is a way in which postmodernism replicates or reproduces - reinforces - the logic of consumer capitalism; the more significant question is whether there is also a way in which it resists that logic. But that is a question we must leave open.
